1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters are affected by various factors. We evaluated corrected quantitative contrast enhanced ultrasonography in differentiating benign adnexal tumors from malignant tumors. Methods: Patients with adnexal masses who underwent conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were included. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters such as base intensity, arrival time, peak intensity, time to peak intensity, ascending slope, and descending slope were measured. Corrected (time to peak intensity - arrival time) Results: This study included 31 patients with 35 adnexal lesions including 20 (57.10%) benign and 15 (42.90%) malignant lesions. The corrected contrast-enhanced ultrasonography quantitative parameters in lesions were statistically different between malignant and benign groups ( Conclusions: Corrected contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters provide practical differential diagnosis value of adnexal lesions with high reliability for sonologists.
